...One afternoon, my significant other wanted a ride to work, and during this time, her place of business happened to be located in the same part of town my parents lived. Because of this, I found myself visiting the area quite frequently. You could describe this area as being affluent suburbia, the landscapes, houses, and general layout has a methodical feel about it. To illustrate, one could reference the Malvina Reynolds song “Little Boxes,” to paint a clearer picture. As a result, I undoubtedly didn’t fit the mold of the community, and the reality of two differing worlds unfortunately had a meaning on this day. Waiting for her shift to start, my girlfriend and I decided to pass the time by listening to music in the car. Like any other day...

...ABSTRACT This project is a system consisting of two different forms of disaster management. First is the Fire DIFENDER, which provides wireless link between houses (containing Fire Alarm Boxes) in a community (primarily congested urban barangays) and the fire station to give direct emergency signal in cases of fire. Second is the Flood DIFENDER, an extra attribute of the system for flood prone community, which gives remote monitoring at barangay station of water level from a reference site for early detection of flood. Technologies contained in the project include RF Transmitters (at houses) and a Receiver (at Barangay station), GSM Module to send signal from the barangay to the fire station, and Ultrasonic sensor for water level detection with indicators located in the barangay station. This two-fold system aims to activate early responses and impose preparedness in order to lessen the impact of common disasters experienced by most urban communities. 1. INTRODUCTION Fire and Flood are considered to be the two disasters in the Philippines having the most numbers of incidents. For fire, factor, aside from late detection of occurrence of fire, is the amount of time taken to relay the emergency signal to the fire station. Frequently, fire stations defend late information transmission from the place where incident happened when asked for their late response. Delays due to interviews and authentication, panic during incident, are considered barriers for transmission. Furthermore...

...Questions for the Roche case Case write-ups due on Wednesday, March 30, at 8:10 pm 1. Why is Roche seeking to acquire the 44% of Genentech it does not own? From Roche’s point of view, what are the advantages of owning 100% of Genentech? What are the risks? (1 pt) Roche already had 56% of shares of Genentech and now it seeks to acquire rest of the 44% shares so as to get the benefits of synergies. The pharmaceutical companies have been unable to introduce new products lately, and their only way to remain profitable is by mergers and acquisitions. Roche also used this method. Acquisition will help the firm compete in the market and thus will help it grow. Advantages of owning 100% of Genentech’s shares: * 1 The merger will lead to formation of the world’s largest biotechnology company. * 2 Value of total benefit from synergies will be $5billion. This will be a result of M&D, manufacturing, development and administrative costs reduction. * 3 Complete ownership will give the company complete access to technology and R&D projects. * 3 It will also give the company access to its cash amounting to $9.5billion, which can also be used to make payment for debt raised for acquisition. * 4 The company can also create a contract allowing it to distribute Genentech’s best selling drugs. Risks of owning 100% of Genentech’s shares: * 1 The acquired company’s minority shareholders are mostly its employees. The company’s culture is like a family environment...

...During one of my previous service experiences at the Lighthouse of Hope, I got the chance to see how they prepare for the sizable food drives which they have every other Saturday. These preparations often started off early in the morning. In the morning, volunteers would arrive to help set up two tables to help transport the boxes of food we would be receiving. Next, is the waiting game, we waited for the truck to deliver the food. Once the truck came, and the driver unloaded the food, the volunteers had the job of taking the large boxes of food and placing them in the appropriate places. To start, one volunteer would grab a box knife and cutoff all the plastic wrap that held the boxes together. Next, we would grab boxes one by one and put...

...meeting with the owner and we asked him that if he was interested to work with us or not. In meeting we demanded for 35 boxes of iftar but he wanted to give us 25 boxes, we made it in 30 boxes. We also gave him the same incentives that e offered to previous restaurant and as an extra incentive we will distribute the promotional papers in a event of our North South University Campus. For that we chose upcoming “Haat-Bazaar”. After receiving 30 boxes of ifatr we need to distribute them. So there is a park in the opposite of that restaurant, Panthapath Shomobay Shomiti. We decided to distribute these boxes in two sectors like first we will distribute 5 boxes to that helpless poor people who lives in the roads, then 5 boxes to that roadside children and last, rest of the boxes will distribute to that Shomiti’s family. On the other hand we already started promoting news about Seven-Hill Restaurant in social media Analysis: When we went to the first restaurant for that deal and reject it, there the situation was distributive or Zero Sum situation. They only think from their perspective. But we had BATNA (), that’s why we can do the deal with the Seven-Hill Restaurant. In the Seven-Hill Restaurant, the situation is integrative or Non-Zero Sum situation. There we were creating the value. We demanded 35 boxes of iftar packets then asked us for 5 boxes, we made it in 30 boxes. Here we used...

...Birch Paper Company Relevant Information & Equations 1) Birch Paper Company is a producer of paper, paperboard, and corrugated boxes. The company is integrated, consisting of four separate production divisions. One of its divisions, Northern Division, asked for bids on a special corrugated box. It requested bids from one of its sister division (Thompson Division) and from two outside companies. The issue at hand is whether Northern should accept a bid from its sister division or from one of the outside companies. It should be noted that Thompsons bid is substantially higher than the bids received from the outside company. Relevant information pertaining to the three bids are provided below. 2) Thompson Division a) Bid $510 per 1000 boxes b) Thompson is marking the product up by 24.5% for a profit of $100. - $410 x 24.5% = $510 per 1000 boxes c) Thompson’s out of pocket expenses per 1000 boxes amount to $410 - 75% or $307.50 of the $410 represents the cost of linerboard and corrugating medium which will be purchased from its sister division Southern. That leaves $102.50 remaining and designated to other out of pocket costs per 1000 boxes. - $410 x 75% = $307.50; $410 - $307.50 = $102.50 out of pocket costs per 1000 boxes. d) If Thompson gets the order from Northern it will buy its linerboard and corrugating medium from the Southern Division of Birch. - Southern’s out of pocket costs for both liner and corrugating medium were about 65% of its...

...(Farrar) was a packer and shipper of tomatoes in Rio Arribon County, New Mexico. Farrar contacted Wilson, an agent and salesman for International Paper Company (International), and ordered 21,500 tomato boxes for $0.64 per box. The boxes were to each hold between 20 and 30 pounds of tomatoes for shipping. When the boxes arrived at Farrar’s plant, 3,624 of them were immediately used to pack tomatoes. When the boxes were stacked, they began to collapse and crush the tomatoes contained within them. The produce company was forced to repackage the tomatoes and store the unused tomato boxes. Farrar contacted International and informed it that it no longer wanted the boxes because they could not perform as promised. International claimed that Farrar had accepted the packages and must pay for them. Who wins? International Paper Co. v. Farrar, 102 N.M. 739, 700 P.2d 642, Web 1985 N.M. Lexis 2000 (Supreme Court of New Mexico) Farrar contracted Wilson for an order of 21,500 boxes capable of holding twenty to thirty pounds each used to ship Farrars’ tomatoes.

...going to be amazing – she also was dreading the move. When she had last moved as a student, she didn`t have as much “stuff” as she would need to take care of now. Just thinking about where she was going to find all the boxes that she would need made her feel tired. As a student, she also was on a very tight budget last time, and picked up boxes at the grocery and liquor stores. It was cheap but it only worked out because she didn’t have that much to move and it wasn’t that heavy. She wondered if she could afford to purchase ready-made boxes this time. Her older and more financially secure sister and brother-in law had done that last time they moved, but Lauren wasn’t sure she could swing it. New boxes could run as high as $3.00 for each 3-cubic foot box. Certainly she wasn’t going to be able to move like her new boss who just hired a moving company to bring the boxes, pack everything and drive it all to his new address. One of her friends, Julie, who also would be heading off to a new job, was excited about a company she had seen on Dragon’s Den, the Canadian reality business TV show.1 Named FROGBOX, it was created in 2008 as an environmentally friendly moving solution. Instead of having to use cardboard boxes, FROGBOX would supply high-density polyethylene plastic boxes that they would deliver to your current address and pick up from your new place after you had moved. The FROGBOX pitch to the Dragon entrepreneurs was successful and they ended up attracting investment as well as favorable...

...Oxford Cereals cheating their customers was not true. There is no definitive proof that the claims of boxed weights being short of 368 grams are true. New information Ted Grable, CEO of Oxford Cereals visited Oxford Cereal Plant Number 1 with several members of the public, several off-duty firefighters and police officers, and a television reporter, Sharon Danyl. A random day was chosen by Ms. Danyl and the firefighters and police officers randomly collected 40 boxes from each of the cereal’s production lines, collecting a total of 80 boxes of cereal. The 80 boxes of cereal were then boxed and transported to an independent laboratory by agents from Parcel Express Delivery Systems. The boxes were weighed and tested and the results were sent to Oxford Cereals officials and Ms. Danyl concurrently. Ms. Danyl then reported the test results on that night’s news stating that the average weight of the random sample of boxes of cereal were greater than the 368 grams stated on the box labels. The weights of the 80 boxes were provided to us by Oxford Cereals but do not state which weight belongs to which...
